It seems to be a common problem for older thinkpad, mine does it too. I have
read about it on different news group. In some cases it is related with the
AC power supply but if it does not disappear when you run from the battery
with AC supply disconnected from the notebook there is not much you can do
except buying a new one.

It might just be a loose wire if you're seeing flickering
but if the backlight is gone i'm guessing about a grand if you have to pay
for it yourself.
But unless you've physically damaged the laptop IBM will likely fix it under
warranty.
